See Your Folks - Hackdot

I am not sure I appreciate this kind of thing but it is interesting nevertheless. My folks have lived 4.5 years beyond the expected life expectancy for my country! By the way, the app needs to handle this case gracefully: I am a foreigner in the US so I see my folks less than once a year. I tried putting in 1/3 but looks like the lowest number it can handle is 1.

It also fails to handle the case where your parents don't live together and therefore you see them at different intervals, or are already dead. But obviously this is a throwaway thing and doesn't really merit overthinking.

I tried .5 (say if you visit once in 2 years )and it worked.
